A large group of officials who worked for former President George W. Bush will endorse the former Democrat Vice President Joe Biden.

The group formed a super PAC Wednesday, called “43 Alumni for Biden,” a reference to Bush, the 43rd president and described its formation as an effort to restore “the principles of unity, tolerance and compassion to the greatest elected office in the world,” according to Reuters.

The group is another example of efforts being made by anti-Trump Republicans to defeat the President in November.

The 43 Alumni for Biden, includes Jennifer Millikin, who worked on Bush’s 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns, and who told Reuters that Trump is a “danger” to the nation. It also lists former Republican National Committee (RNC) officials Kelly Ganzberger, Michael Turk and Serenity Hanley among its organizing committee members, The Daily Caller reported.

“Whether you worked in the earliest days of the 43rd Administration or sprinted to the finish in January 2009, you know a thing or two about serving the grand ideals and exceptional people of our country,” the super PAC writes on its front page. “Together we saw compassion in action, strength on display and the steady leadership of a true statesman who inspired us to meet some of America’s greatest challenges.”

The Super PAC plans to release ‘testimonial videos’ praising Biden from high-profile Republicans and will hold get-out-the-vote efforts in the most competitive states.

The group says on their website:

“Bound by our shared work experience and a belief in a brighter tomorrow, we endorse Joe Biden for President,” they write. “Political differences may remain among us, but we look forward to a time when civil, honest and robust policy discussions are the order of the day.”

The Daily Caller reported in June, Freddy Ford, a spokesman for Bush suggested that the 43rd president has not made up his mind on how he will vote in November. Some former Bush administration officials, including former Secretary of State Colin Powell have thrown their support behind Biden. Powell previously endorsed former President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The Los Angeles School police chief resigned from his post Wednesday, less than a year after he took the job and less than 24 hours after the district’s board cut $25 million from his department’s budget, Fox News Reports.

Police Chief Tod Chamberlain said the cuts put him in a “position that makes my ability to effectively, professionally and safely impact those groups unachievable.”

“I cannot support modifications to my position, the organization and most importantly, the community (students, staff and families) that I believe will be detrimental and potentially life-threatening,” he added.

Chamberlain was named L.A. School Police chief in November 2019. He was a 33-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department when he retired at the rank of commander and was working as a lecturer in criminal justice at Cal State Los Angeles.

Chamberlain’s resignation came after the Los Angeles Unified School Board on Tuesday voted 4-3 to reduce the LA School Police budget by 35%, and to divert those funds to hire more social workers, counselors and campus safety aids at schools with more Black students. One board member initially wanted to slash the police budget by 50 percent.

Chamberlain said during the meeting that the $25 million reduction means the Los Angeles Unified School Board will need to lay off 65 officers, close 39 vacant officer positions and eliminate the school police force’s entire overtime budget.

Last week, the union which represents LAUSD teachers voted in favor of completely eliminating LASPD.

A far-left Harvard graduate went viral for a video on the Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok, where she explicitly threatened to “stab” anyone who uses the phrase “All Lives Matter,” as reported by the New York Post.

The former student’s name is Claira Janover, who holds a degree in government and psychology and graduated this May. In her video, she hysterically attacked people who say “all lives matter,” describing them as having “sheer entitled caucasity,” in reference to white people.

She then says “I’ma stab you, I’ma stab you,” and that while her hypothetical stabbing victim is “struggling and bleeding out, I’ma show you my paper cut and say, ‘my cut matters too.’”

After the video went viral and received thousands of views, she deleted the video and claimed, without evidence, that she had received death threats and was being “monitored” by the Department of Homeland Security.While the threats and government surveillance were never confirmed, Janover did get fired from her job at the business consulting firm Deloitte, which was listed on her LinkedIn profile after she had been given a job offer with the company. Janover posted a follow-up statement falsely blaming her situation on “Trump supporters,” while also accusing Deloitte of hypocrisy for firing her, since she, as a person of color, feels entitled to a job.

Two Republican members of the U.S. Senate have introduced a motion to replace the federal holiday of Columbus Day with Juneteenth, as reported by Breitbart.

The senators in question are Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) and James Lankford (R-Okla.), who proposed the replacement as an amendment to a bill introduced by Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Johnson and Lankford’s proposed amendment would specifically remove Columbus Day from the list of federal holidays to make room for Juneteenth.

Johnson attempted to justify his support for the move by calling Columbus Day “the most lightly-celebrated and less disruptive to anybody’s schedule.” Johnson said that adding one more federal holiday would be “blowing a hole in the budget…offering another paid day off for federal employees.” However, Cornyn himself stated his opposition to Johnson and Lankford’s proposal, which he pointed out “dilutes the message we’re trying to send.”

Juneteenth is a little-known holiday commemorating the day that the Emancipation Proclamation was read for the first time in the state of Texas, on June 19th, 1865. It has come under greater scrutiny due to the widespread race riots across America.

Conversely, Columbus Day – celebrating the iconic Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, who set out to prove that the Earth was round and ended up discovering the “New World” – first became a federal holiday in 1968, and is generally observed on the second Monday of the month of October. In recent years, the holiday has been criticized by far-left and Indian groups, who have falsely accused Columbus of being a racist and a colonizer. Statues of Columbus have been the target of many acts of vandalism and destruction over the last month.

Harvard University on Monday said it would drop its policy of sanctioning students who joined single-sex clubs.

The Ivy League school released a letter saying it would no longer enforce the ban on same-sex clubs, fraternities or sororities on Monday, with Harvard president Lawrence Bacow noting the university “will not be able to carry forward with the existing policy under the prevailing interpretation of federal law,” because it could be seen as legally discriminatory.

Officials instituted the policy in 2017, which prevented students from holding leadership positions in university-recognized groups and from joining athletic teams if they were a part of single-sex clubs not recognized by Harvard.

They were also not able to receive college-administered fellowships, including the Rhodes, Marshall and Mitchell scholarships, The Washington Post reported.

The policy had affected Harvard’s traditionally male “final clubs” as well as fraternities and sororities that are not sanctioned by the university. Officials had argued these clubs were discriminatory based on sex, with the university’s then-president saying Harvard could no longer “endorse selection criteria [in clubs] that reject much of the student body merely because of gender,” according to the Post.

Executive Director Robert Shibley of The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education  has been vocal in its opposition to the policy ever since it was first announced on May 6, 2016, he spoke of the damage caused by Harvard’s Blacklist policy and the recent legal victory.

“Harvard’s effort to crush one of America’s most fundamental freedoms for its students failed in the court of public opinion and was failing in the court of law,” said Shibley. “Harvard squandered time, resources, and most of all its credibility defending its indefensible blacklist policy. While this ‘Crimson Scare’ is finally over, lasting damage has been done to many cherished men’s and women’s groups that either shut down or were muscled into changing their policies against their wishes.”

Bacow insisted the “guiding purpose behind the policy remains as important as ever.”

“The policy was adopted to advance the essential and unfinished work of making Harvard a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all our students—of creating a community in which students are not denied the opportunity to participate in aspects of undergraduate life simply because of their gender,” Bacow wrote.

In his first press conference in nearly 30 months, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden attempted to assure viewers that he was not in a state of mental decline, claiming without evidence that he had taken a cognitive function test, according to Breitbart.

Towards the end of his first press conference after 89 days of being conspicuously absent from the media, Biden was asked if he was facing any “degree of cognitive decline.” The former vice president responded by saying “I’ve been tested and I’m constantly tested,” without elaborating on what this meant.

He further added that “I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I’m running against.”

Despite his claims of having been tested, it had been noted that the cognitive functioning test was the one major section that was missing when Biden released his official medical examination records in December of last year.
